Cameroon: Japan and WFP Support Displaced Communities in Cameroon's Crises-Affected Areas

Yaounde — The United Nations World Food Programme welcomes a US$ 1.2 million contribution from the Government of Japan to support 36,200 crisis-affected people in Cameroon .

"This food assistance is intended to address the food insecurity of vulnerable population who have been severely affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis," said Mr. Kiyohiko Ikeda, Chargé d'Affaires a.i of the Embassy of Japan in Cameroon. Japan is one of WFP's consistent donors in Cameroon. Since 2018, Japan's contributions have enabled WFP to maintain food assistance including emergency food distributions, nutrition interventions, school feeding and recovery support to families most in need.

"This support could not have come at a more opportune time - especially when WFP is being forced to cut assistance or completely halt food assistance to refugees in Cameroon due to funding constraints," Kaaria said.
